US President Donald Trump has appreciated India for releasing an American who was arrested with thousands of dollars near the sensitive Chicken Neck sector in West Bengal.

Trump made the remarks in a tape released at the ongoing Republican Party convention. India has so far not disclosed that it let go of an American pastor who was arrested last October for allegedly carrying $40,000 of foreign currency.

As per the commentary in the tape, the pastor was identified as Bryan Nerren, who was released by India in May. “India responded very well to my request. Appreciate that,” said the US President at a meeting with Americans who had been brought back after suffering imprisonment abroad by countries as well as non-state actors. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
